How does it work
Booking of shipments (aka generating labels) can be done in two different ways:
In either way Smart Send works as an integrator between you and your chosen carrier. Smart Send handles the data transfer and the carrier handle the creation on the specific PDF shipping label according to their own specifications. Labels sizes depend on the carrier, but in general most labels can be printed on paper of size 102x192mm.
{info} We have a detailed printing guide with more in depth information about printing labels and setting up printers.
Carrier agreement
When a label is booked through Smart Send then we use your own carrier agreement. That way you can get the best shipping prices possible.
If you don't have a carrier agreement already, then you can get one by contacting the carrier directly via one of the links below:
{info} Your shipping cost is in no way linked to the shipping price you charge on your webshop. You are free to charge more or less depending on your preferences, for example, you might offer free shipping for orders above 15 EUR.
A carrier agreement is an agreement between you and the carrier. It is a contract that defines the terms and conditions of the relationship between you and the carrier. It determines what shipping methods and addons you can use, whether parcels are being picked up by the carrier or you hand them to the carrier at a specific location. The agreement also includes the shipping cost you as a business owner will pay to the carrier and varies for each shipping method, addon, and destination.
